Dishcloths for a Homemade Christmas

Our house is decorated, inside and out and we are continuing to plan for ways to celebrate the people in our circle, with both time and gifts. We want to celebrate our lives, feel gratitude and settle into the aspects of life that are most important. There are many things to worry about – there is a lot going on in the world and we all have challenges in our lives. What helps us move forward with grace? Be careful not to actively chew on your worries and sorrows and do not feed fear and anxiety. Take time to be still, cease, relax, withdraw and let go. Find your peace. We can pause, even in the “hustle and bustle” of Christmas. Live with grace and love. Live with gratitude.

When it feels like you can’t do anything, there is always something you can do. You always have a choice.
Trust that things will work out in the end. This moment is not the entire story.
Hang on to truth. You can feel afraid, angry, skeptical or uncertain but you don’t have to live that way.

During busy times, find ways to pause by reading or engaging in a hobby, get outside, meet a friend for coffee and never be afraid to try something new…maybe even crocheting!!
